SATA 6G and USB 3.0 for all

With two emerging storage standards, USB 3.0 and SATA 6G (6.0 Gb/s), more and more users are going to be looking at either upgrading their motherboard or adding new accessories to their systems to support these new features. For consumers that don’t want to bother with the hassle of upgrading their motherboard or just don’t want to pay that kind of money, ECS has a couple of options available to add USB 3.0 or SATA 6G support to your current rig.
